What the data says.reading this examiner

Examiner Mounir Moutaouakil maintains a pooled allowance rate of 85% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. His public record spans 2 art units within this technology center. The allowance rate ranges from 61% to 85% across these art units, reflecting variation in the composition of applications examined across different subject-matter areas within TC 2400. The 85% pooled figure represents the share of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) that issued as allowed, excluding pending applications.

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates examination activity across multiple art units, which means the pooled allowance rate represents a combined measure of past decisions rather than a prediction for any individual application. Allowance rates vary by art unit due to differences in application complexity, examiner expertise in particular areas, and the distribution of claims types. The range reflects real differences in unit-level records; the overall figure describes historical outcomes and does not predict the result of any specific case.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Mounir Moutaouakil has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 863 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
